Paying for your daughters abortion..

Ok im going to put this out here since im anonymous on here and no identifying info..

My 20 year old niece is pregnant and no one other than my niece sister and I know.my niece is unemployed and still lives at home my sister is going to pay for her to get an abortion.She is about 11 weeks along.My sister is still with my nieces dad and they have 3 other children they all live in the same household.Do you think the dad has the right to know that mom is paying for an abortion if she is taking it out if the family money FYI both mom and dad work.

Holy crap! And $500 would be a lot for us at once in our current financial state. So, I would definitely feel like I had to tell him that I took the money. I'd not share why unless I absolutely couldn't get away from it.

Goating..Honestly, i don't feel like its about the money at all. Either the girl and her mother feel like her dad should be involved or not. If i were in her position (given my relationship worth my dad at that age) i wouldn't wasn't him to know. However, i feel like being honest is best. I think it depends on the relationship between the girl and her father. I wouldn't have wanted my dad or step dad to know when i was younger.

I can understand the bloodwork thing. They could be checking for things like hemoglobin, RH factor, CBC...things that I got bloodwork for prior to my D&C (granted, that was for a m/c, but it's the same procedure, so...)

No way could $500 disappear from our account without discussing why, but that's probably relative to income to begin with.

I just don't know what to say here. I don't agree with abortion so maybe that changes my stance on it. I just think if the father isn't pro-choice, his money shouldn't be paying for something he's against. I don't know the father's stance on this. So I'm at a loss.
